That's exactly what we used to have. Now we've got 2 Izuzu pickup tippers, one with a 2cube back and we just replaced our ifor Williams trailer with a second one with a 4cube back (and air suspension for 1400kg).

Very smart but 1400kg for 4 cube leaves little margin if bone dry logs. Presuming the 1400kg is payload excluding the tipper. Do you not have oil level rising problems with the Dmax

Yeah, it's very close. I wouldn't want to weigh every load of Beech or Oak. ;)

Most our loads are smaller anyway but a bigger back gives you the option and makes loading and sheeting easier. 

Never had any issues with the oil level on either pickup (80k miles and 19k so far) and I don't remember any other issues except one clutch and we change brake pads quite a lot. They've been very reliable and there's 5 year warranty anyway.

Is this the truck with the 4m3 back?  Air suspension I have not had dealings with - what is the principle, benefits and additional cost if you don't mind me asking?
